Chapter Three: Celebration of life

Neymar was praying when Adonai, the Eternal God, sent Micah, one of His holy angels, to Neymar's household to deliver to them the message of the destiny of his child and, at the same time, stay on earth and help in training the child to become an immortal being using the book given to him.

As Micah descended like a shooting star, he encountered Cora, one of the evil, fallen, and rebellious angels, who blocked his path. The duel lasted for a while, and Micah, winning the battle, left the scene and went to meet Neymar as he delivered the message to him.

The moment Micah disappeared, a cry of a newborn baby was heard from the labor room, signaling the arrival of the child like a symphony of joy.

"Yeah!!!" All the midwives shouted with joyful shouts. "The child is out!" they all rejoiced with faces beaming like sunshine.

Neymar quickly rushed into the house and, upon entering, saw Naomi lying on the bed, exhausted from the hard labor. Then he turned towards the direction of the child as the midwives were trying to clean him up and cover him with a white cloth.

"We found a marking on his chest, sir," the head midwife said, her voice tinged with curiosity.

"Is it a sword in a crossed form?" Neymar described, remembering the word of the angel, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Yes, sir! How did you know? You haven't seen the child yet," the head midwife asked in surprise, her eyebrows raised in astonishment.

She then brought the child to him. Neymar opened the covering and saw the mark exactly as the angel had described. "Make sure no one knows about this mark," Neymar warned in a hushed tone, his expression serious.

"Yes, sir," she nodded agreeably, a hint of understanding in her eyes.

"How is the condition of my wife?" Neymar asked with curiosity as he walked towards her, still holding his child, his voice filled with concern.

"She is fine and resting," another midwife answered, assuring him with a gentle smile.

Then Naomi opened her eyes to see her husband standing beside her, holding their child, as the child spoke the language of babies in a happy mood. "My love, we had a son," Naomi said, smiling like a flower blooming in the sun.

"Yes, we shall call him Michael," Neymar replied, laughing, as he followed the instruction of the angel, his eyes shining with joy.

"How did you know the name?" Naomi asked in surprise, her voice laced with curiosity.

"What do you mean?" Neymar asked, his expression puzzled.

"That's the name I saw in my dream just now as I fell asleep," Naomi said with a mixture of excitement and surprise. "A man appeared to me in a dream and told me that the child would be called Michael."

Neymar checked around, seeing that all the midwives had left, leaving them alone in the room. He leaned closer and explained everything that he had encountered with the angel and everything he told him, his voice barely audible.

"Praise be to Adonai for this child!" they both praised, their voices filled with gratitude.

Neymar, as a warrior, is also very skillful in craftsmanship of wood and clay, agriculture, and hunting, and has the ability to wield swords, daggers, and archery. He is a noble man and peaceful; many people love him, although there are some enemies lurking in the shadows.

The news of his newborn child spread like wildfire, and many people came to congratulate him and his wife, even people from other towns came because Neymar was famous.

Kabyle, and even places around the world, is a mixture of different beliefs, practices, and worshipping of different forces by humans. The center of attraction is humans. The earth is a battlefield where the strong become predators while the weak become prey.

Who will save the weak? The strong are becoming stronger and richer, while the weak are becoming weaker and poorer. Many kings and lords of different nations around the world are buying more powers for themselves using dark magic, sorcery, and divinations to empower themselves, making darkness a trend in the world.

But there are still people who understand the ways of light. While there are still people who are completely void of the understanding of both light and darkness, and some with little measure of either of them.

As visitors were coming to celebrate with Neymar and Naomi, these visitors were a mixture of these people. Drinks and meals were served with musicians playing in the background; people gisted, gossiped, and entertained.

In the midst of this celebration, there were also other unseen visitors – these are demons. Demons are another species of the dark force; they are like their foot soldiers. They have the abilities to torment someone from their dreams, enforcing dangerous and deadly thoughts, taking total control of someone's entire body; they also have the ability to become human, a creature with human flesh, under some certain circumstances.

These are the creatures witches, sorcerers, diviners, warlocks, sages, and other lords and kings of the earth realm commune with, in order to access the knowledge and power of the dark world.

Meanwhile, they are far different from fallen angels, like Lucifer, the evil, and Cora, the fallen angel Micah fought when coming to the earth.

Fallen angels have wings, like holy angels, but they're fallen from Adonai's presence and glory.

And angel has the ability to transform and be physical and also transform into the spiritual.

Demons, on the other hand, don't have wings; they can't fly, but they have speed; they can run with flashing speed, they can disappear and appear; they have the ability to fight in the spirit realm, when they take control of someone's body, and when they become humans.

These creatures have crazy behaviors like zombies. They had accompanied a witch to the celebration who intended to cast a spell on the newborn child.

Her name is Bella; she has been a witch from childhood; her mother transferred her witchcraft to her when she was eight years old. Her mission has been to possess babies with witchcraft.

As she was approaching the house where the celebration was taking place, the atmosphere changed. It's like a resisting force is present, sending a warning signal, as she began to approach; she had never felt this kind of resistance before.

"Ha! Something is strange here!" she said as confusion clouded her mind.

Her demons tried to access and know what is the cost of this force.

Even her demons were having their own restraint as they couldn't tell her what was going on.

Because they where denied access.

Immediately, she disappeared, trying to appear inside the room where the child was sleeping. The moment she appeared, she froze in shock at what she saw next.
